As for the rain, several inches of precipitation is expected to accumulate as the storm moves through the region and stalls over the San Joaquin Valley. Areas around Stockton and Modesto will likely see the most rain.

In the foothills, as much as 5 to 8 inches of rain could pile up during the storm. Temperatures will stay in the upper 50s in the Valley.

Snow levels were around 6,000 feet in the Sierra, but they should drop down to 4,000 feet by Tuesday. Donner Summit could see up to 3 feet of snow by 11 p.m. Monday.

WHERE DO RESERVOIRS AND WATERWAYS STAND?

Lake Don Pedro

As of 1 p.m. Monday, Don Pedro Reservoir was 97 percent of capacity. Turlock Irrigation District officials opened the controlled spillway gates to let water out of the reservoir and into the Tuolumne River. It was the first time since 1997 that the gates have been used.

Tuolumne River

The Tuolumne River in Modesto was barely blow flood stage Monday morning at 54.7 feet. However, it is expected to reach flood stage at 55 feet Tuesday.

The river will continue rising through Wednesday, at which point it could crest at 60 feet.

Water levels are expected to go back down with a few dry days on tap later in the week.

Lake Oroville

A week after residents were evacuated and had quite a scare that the emergency spillway at Lake Oroville was going to fail, things are looking up.

Even though more water has begun pouring into the reservoir, the inflow remains less than the outflow: about 45,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) is coming into the lake as opposed to the reduced outflow of 60,000 cfs that is going out through the normal spillway.

The lake has dropped below 850 feet, which was what water officials were shooting for, allowing for plenty of water storage at Lake Oroville. Maximum capacity is 901 feet.

Cosumnes River

The Cosumnes River at Michigan Bar is expected to go above flood stage (12 feet) Monday evening, and it is forecast to peak at 15.3 feet.
